How we pack it
We ship this Alocasia as a corm (bulb) with the leaves removed: leaves bruise and rot in transit, while a corm travels well, passes inspection cleanly and sprouts within a few weeks of potting. Corms are cleaned, treated at the quarantine office and packed in moss or tissue inside ventilated boxes.
Care after arrival
- Starting the corm: plant it shallowly in a mix of bark, perlite and sphagnum moss, keep it warm and lightly moist, and wait for the first shoot.
- Light: bright, indirect light; no direct sun.
- Water: keep it lightly moist, never waterlogged.
- Temperature: 18–29 °C (65–85 °F), away from cold drafts.
- Pets: like most aroids, the sap contains calcium oxalate and irritates pets if chewed. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
